Chapter 167 Unexpected Power
While chasing the wind and lightning, I feel the strong wind coming towards me.
Lei Xiao and his party moved forward from this mountain pass and soon crossed the Baibu Mountains and successfully arrived at the other end of the mountains.
"Crossing such majestic mountains is really a sense of accomplishment...even though I barely walked."
Lei Xiao jumped down from the tiger stick with ease and stood on a hillside. While blocking the dazzling sunlight with his hands, he squinted his eyes and looked down the mountain.
What appeared in front of him was a mixed area of mountains and hills.
With the wind and sand blowing everywhere, it can be clearly seen that the terrain here is quite complex.
I saw that the uneven ground, full of folded rock formations, was a monotonous earthy color everywhere, with only a few green plants dotting it.
The desolate scene can be said to be very different from the dense forest area where we were just now.
Just as Hezhuang had reported before, on several hillside in the distance, you can indeed vaguely see some walled city buildings with a mixed structure of wood and stone.
"Nan Xing Nan Yue, continue to put on your invisibility cloak and clear the way. Let's get closer."
Slowly looking away, Lei Xiao nodded to the twin sisters and put the last invisibility cloak on himself.
This invisibility cloak can not only cover up the figure, but also has the effect of concealing the breath.
For Lei Xiao, whose strength is at the second level of nine stars, it can obviously further reduce the chance of being noticed by the strong opponent.
For Nanxing Nanyue, who was already good at concealing their aura, this was even more powerful. As long as they controlled the distance, even fifth-level experts would find it difficult to sense their presence.
"The top priority is to figure out the opponent's strength distribution and the number of strong men as soon as possible. Only in this way can I prescribe the right medicine and plan to weaken the opponent's strength."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao turned his head and said to the other subordinates: "Okay, let's suppress our breath to the bottom, and let's start moving forward."
Along the rugged and desolate depression, we progressed for a while.
Nan Xing's crisp report sounded suddenly: "Lord, in the valley ahead, there are two opposing small groups of orcs, fighting!"
While listening to Nan Xing's report, Lei Xiao noticed that along with her voice came bursts of killing shouts and the sound of weapons clashing.
"Very good. As expected, the orcs are constantly fighting among themselves. We came at the right time."
While Lei Xiao signaled the subordinates around him to be more vigilant, he asked: "Approximately how many are there?"
"Back to the lord, both sides should be a fully-organized 1,000-man brigade. At present, they have suffered more than half of their casualties, and each still has about 500 people left."
Nan Xing's clear voice, mixed with the sounds of fierce fighting, came over again: "Lord, these orc soldiers are attacking each other.
Most of them are first-level ordinary soldiers, and a few are second-level soldiers. As for the number of third-level strong men, there are four in total, and their strength is between one and two stars of the third level. ”
"Understood, continue moving around the battlefield to see if there are any other enemies hiding in the dark."
After closing his words, Lei Xiao said to the other subordinates: "Okay, let's speed up the pace."
A while passed, just as Lei Xiao and others were about to reach the top of the battlefield valley.
Nanyue's soft voice spoke again through her words: "Lord, my subordinates have discovered a new force in the hidden part of the valley, and they seem to be preparing for an ambush."
"Oh? Is it an ambush from one of the orcs? How many people are there?"
Lei Xiao couldn't help showing an interested expression and asked immediately.
"Back...back to the lord, it's not an orc."
Because she couldn't speak clearly, the introverted Nan Yue became anxious and stuttered: "It's... a group of werewolves."
"It's actually a werewolf?"
The surprise on Lei Xiao's face was beyond words.
Lei Xiao had already learned about it during a previous chat with the half-elf chief Kawagu.
In this world, in addition to large races such as humans, elves, and dwarves, there are also many other races.
For example, the target orcs this time, and the werewolves mentioned by Nanyue just now.
According to the old half-elf Kawatani, the werewolves are a rare humanoid race known for their surly temperament, bravery and tenacity.
This magical race can freely switch between human form and wolf form as long as there is sufficient energy in the body.
Needless to say, the wolf form, but in the human form, except for the fluffy upright pointed ears and an iconic big tail, in other aspects, there is almost no difference from ordinary humans,
It is precisely because of this that werewolf women are a hot commodity among human dignitaries and are often hunted by bounty hunters.
It is worth mentioning that even women from the werewolf tribe are also extremely brave beings, so most of the time those who fall are bounty hunters who are hunters.
"I didn't expect to meet a rare werewolf tribe here. I just met the one-horned rock-horned wolf not long ago, and now it's a werewolf tribe. It seems that I have a good relationship with the wolf today."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said to his twin sister: "Nanyue, are you saying that this werewolf clan is preparing to ambush the orcs?"
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
The voice of Nan Yue, like an oriole coming out of the valley, came over again: "This lurking werewolf troop has about two squadrons, about 200 people, with a total of two third-level ordinary strong men, and about 20 second-level ones. Those who are strong in the first level, the rest are all in the first level.”
"It's a bit interesting. The werewolves are preparing to fight with each other, and the fishermen will profit."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered: "Nanxing Nanyue, keep an eye on the orc troops that are fighting and the werewolf troops hiding in the dark. We will be there soon."
About five minutes passed under the scorching sun.
Lei Xiao and his group of six people arrived at the top of the valley where the orcs were fighting.
The twin sister Nan Xing who was waiting here immediately appeared.
"Lord, the battle between the two orc forces has entered the final stage."
Nan Xing lowered his head and saluted Lei Xiao who took off his cloak: "Currently, there are about 400 people left on each side, and the number of third-level experts has been reduced to two."
As Nan Xing spoke, he stretched out his slender hand and pointed to a high tunnel on the other side of the valley: "As for the werewolf troops, they are ambushing there, and Nan Yue is closely monitoring them."
"Very good. It seems that it won't be long before we can observe a good show."
After patting Nan Xing's head to encourage him, Lei Xiao put on his invisibility cloak again. While listening to the shouts of killing that echoed in the valley, he looked down at the entire battlefield from a high position. (End of chapter)
